W1M0R commented on issue #1199: Provide mechanism for hosting in subdirs behind reverse proxies
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton/issues/1199#issuecomment-562820118
 
 
   The method that worked for me was to let nginx proxy the /couchdb/_utils/ location to the npm version of fauxton running inside a docker container. All requests to _utils are thus not satisfied by the built-in couchdb fauxton, but instead by the standalone fauxton server.
   
   Here are some hints for the steps required to make this work.
   
   The NGINX configuration at `/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf`:
   
   ```nginx
   upstream couchdb {
     server app-couchdb:5984;
   }
   upstream fauxton {
     server app-fauxton:8000;
   }
   
   server {
     listen 80;
     server_name localhost;
   
     location /couchdb/_utils/ {
       rewrite /couchdb/_utils/(.*) /$1 break;
       proxy_pass http://fauxton/;
       proxy_redirect off;
       proxy_buffering off;
       proxy_set_header Host $host;
       proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
     }
   
     location /couchdb {
       rewrite /couchdb/(.*) /$1 break;
       proxy_pass http://couchdb/;
       proxy_redirect off;
       proxy_buffering off;
       proxy_set_header Host $host;
       proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
     }
     ...
   }
   ```
   
   The CouchDB configuration at `/opt/couchdb/etc/local.d/docker-1.ini`:
   
   ```ini
   [chttpd]
   bind_address = 0.0.0.0
   
   [httpd]
   enable_cors = true
   bind_address = 0.0.0.0
   ```
   
   The Dockerfile for the fauxton:alpine  image at `fauxton.dockerfile`:
   
   ```dockerfile
   FROM node:10-alpine
   RUN npm install --silent -g fauxton
   ```
   
   The docker configuration:
   
   ```sh
   sudo docker build -t fauxton:alpine - < ./fauxton.dockerfile
   sudo docker network create app-net
   sudo docker create --name app-couchdb --network app-net --restart unless-stopped -v /opt/couchdb/etc/local.d/docker-1.ini:/opt/couchdb/etc/local.d/docker-1.ini -e COUCHDB_USER="$ADMIN_USER" -e COUCHDB_PASSWORD="$ADMIN_PASSWORD" couchdb:latest
   sudo docker create --name app-fauxton --network app-net --restart unless-stopped fauxton:alpine fauxton --couchdb "http://app-couchdb:5984"
   sudo docker create --name app-nginx --network app-net --restart unless-stopped --publish 8080:80 -v /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro nginx:alpine
   sudo docker start app-couchdb
   sudo docker start app-fauxton
   sudo docker start app-nginx
   ```
   
   That should more or less give you a setup with the latest version of couchdb and the latest version of standalone fauxton, all running inside docker containers, and accessible via a non-root path at http://127.0.0.1:8080/couchdb/_utils/.
